the body shop winter trend makeup 2015

the body shop's christmas makeup collection has took inspiration to the design from great gatsby. the collection consists of two eyeshadow palette's, 6 nail polishes, 2 sparklers, glitter eyeliner and lip stain. there is also two regular lipstick shades packed in the christmas design.

eyeshadow palette swinging silver & grooving gold, 25€

the colors are actually really beautiful and usable, and they would suit for many. what bothers me though that in the gold palette the purple colors transform more to brown. in the package there is two headed eyeshadow brush included.

the metallic shades (silver and gold) are super pigmented, the other shades need a little bit more build up.

colour crush nail colour 910 blue abyss, 930 silver metal, 940 silver sequins (above), 920 burgundy red, 940 gold metal, 950 gold sequins (below) 8,80€

the nail polish colors are usual christmas season nailpolishes. too bad the metallic and glitter ones don't stay in the regular collection, because now there isn't any.

the burgundy shade is matte but the dark blue has a little bit of shimmer in it. they all have a great pigment, especially the metal shades (in the picture i have only one layer of metals).

the sparkler silver shimmer & gold shimmer 25€, silver glitter eyeliner 12,50€, colour crush lipstick winter trend 11 nude allure & 110 coral blush 13,90€, lip & cheek scarlet starlet 13,90€

glitter eyeliner, lip & cheek stain, 11 nude allure shine lipstick & 110 coral blush lipstick.

closer look on the lip & cheek stain.

if you like all things glittery, you'll need the sparkler in your life..

first impression: nyx cosmetics

when i was in holiday in malta i had an opportunity to visit a nyx cosmetics store. i had a pretty long list of products that i wanted to buy but they didn't have almost any shades that i was interested in. so i ended up buying only 3 products.

this product's name is a "liquid crystal liner". i didn't actually notice that sticker (maybe because it is only in the other one) before i was home.

these liners were in the store next to the other eye liners and eye pencils so of course i expected them to be eye liners. if they are not ment to use as eye liners, then what the heck are they for??

they have a good amount of glitter in them but i tried them on my eyelids and indeed they made a burning sensation.

this product though is really great. the intense butter gloss formula is so pigmented but buttery soft at the same time. the shade toasted marshmallow is really beautiful fall/winter color.

i don't remember the individual prices but i paid around 20€ for these, so they would be around 6-7€ each.
